Chapter 100
Knowing that Shangguan Yuanbiao had misunderstood, Cheng Jin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Suing for peace can also be divided into active and passive TXT downloads. Of course it is unacceptable for us to take the initiative to seek peace from the barbarian countries, but if we can get the barbarian countries to take the initiative to ask us If you come to seek peace, it will be different.”
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yuanbiao's anger was mostly extinguished, and he asked in a naive voice: "How can we make the barbarian countries take the initiative to seek peace from us?"
Cheng Jin said seriously: "This requires a change, a change in thinking." After a pause, he explained in detail: "Now the Barbarians are wolves and we are sheep, so it is always the Barbarians who take the initiative. We are always passively being beaten and resisting. If we want the barbarians to sue for peace, we must reverse this situation. We should be wolves and let the barbarians be sheep. We must take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to attack, and even take the initiative to fight. The barbarians are plundering and barbaric, so we should be more barbaric than them. Only in this way will the barbarians fear us from the bottom of their hearts, and peace will last longer."
His words coincided with what Tang Yin was thinking. Tang Yin was not a passive person, especially on the battlefield. His rule was to constantly attack, attack, and attack again, crushing his opponents to death with a sharp offensive. He also considered sending troops to the barbarian country, but there were too many restrictive conditions. First of all, he didn't know whether it was feasible for him to do so. If he made a mistake, many people would be killed. In addition, the current conditions in Pingyuan County did not allow it. The reason is that the troops are not strong, and the second reason is that the intelligence is blocked and they have no understanding of the barbarian country. Now hearing Cheng Jin's analysis like this completely dispelled his doubts in his heart. He felt that such a strategy was indeed feasible, but the objective restrictions could not be changed subjectively.
He nodded with a smile and praised: "Cheng Jin, what you said makes sense, but sending troops to barbarian countries also requires strong military power and strength as the basis."
Cheng Jin shrugged and said casually: "I think sometimes a surprise attack may achieve miraculous results."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener may have intention. When Tang Yin heard this, his heart moved, and a bold and risky plan slowly emerged in his mind.
On this day, the barbarian soldiers did not invade; on the second day, it was still calm; on the third day, there was still no movement from the barbarian soldiers; on the fourth day, as usual, there was no disturbance.
Tang Yin led his people to hide in Yuanwang Town and stayed there for six days.
Staying in a small space for a long time and being isolated from the world can drive people crazy. Fortunately, there are two newcomers, Cheng Jin and Ao Qing, around him. Chatting with them is not too boring for Tang Yin.
Day six, early morning.
Tang Yin and others were still sleeping when they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the inside of the tunnel. The other end of the tunnel leads to the outside of the town. When footsteps are heard, it can only be said that someone is approaching from the tunnel entrance outside the town.
Because he had been practicing martial arts since he was young, Tang Yin had extremely strong six senses and his ears and eyes were smarter than ordinary people. He was the first to wake up and stood up almost instinctively. His sudden move immediately woke up the other four people. The Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin, and Ao Qing asked at the same time: "Sir, what's wrong..."
"Hush! Someone is coming!" As he spoke, he extinguished the small oil lamp, and instantly, the tunnel fell into darkness. The Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin, and Ao Qing listened attentively, but heard nothing. After a while, the four of them heard the sound of slight footsteps coming from the tunnel. They were alert and surprised at the strength of Tang Yin's ears. Appalling level.
The five of them exuded spiritual energy, released their spiritual armor, and displayed their weapons at the same time to complete the spiritual transformation of their soldiers. They were ready to fight. As long as the opponent came out of the tunnel, the five of them could launch a fatal attack at the same time.
Time passed quickly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and you could even hear the other party's breathing while running.
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao couldn't see, and they were even more nervous. They heard the footsteps getting closer, so close that they were almost in front of them. They both roared at the same time, and the spiritualized silver spears in their hands followed suit. Stab it out hard.
The moment they took out their guns, Tang Yin suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao changed their colors when they heard the sound. It was too late to retract the spears they thrust out, so they could only try to deflect the spears outward and stab somewhere else.
Bang, bang!
With two muffled sounds, the two spiritual spears pierced the wall of the tunnel with such force that two large holes were punched out of the wall.
At this time, Tang Yin relit the small oil lamp, and the Shangguan brothers took a closer look. It turned out that the young man running close from outside was a young man in black. He was only in his early twenties, but judging from his appearance and clothing, he was definitely not a barbarian.
Their spears were stabbed at the left and right sides of the young man's head, so close to him that they were almost touching his cheek. If the Shangguan brothers' guns were even half an inch off target, the young man would be dead. At this time, the young man also saw the situation clearly. He stared dumbly at the two guns close at hand, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.
"Sir... Your Excellency... I... I am a subordinate of General Ai, and I am here to report!" The young man reached into his arms, took out a military badge, and handed it to Tang Yin tremblingly.
Tang Yin stepped forward, and while taking it, he signaled to the Shangguan brothers to take back their weapons. The military card is unique to the Feng Kingdom. In addition, it also has the word "detection" engraved on it to indicate the identity of the spy. After Tang Yin saw it, he couldn't help but laugh. It's a shame that Ai Jia could figure it out! He asked in confusion: "Didn't General Ai return to Hengcheng?"
"We went back to Hengcheng, but the general was worried about the border town and worried about your safety, so soon after returning to Hengcheng, he led us back to the border town to explore the enemy's situation!"
"That's it!" Tang Yin didn't say much, but his heart felt warm. He asked, "What's going on outside now?"
The young man swallowed his foam, took a few breaths, and said, "Sir, the barbarians have crossed the border and are heading towards the border town. There are also at least one regiment of barbarians heading here!"
After hearing this, Tang Yin's nerves immediately became tense. The barbarian soldiers' revenge finally came, and he felt excited and nervous at the same time. He asked: "How many barbarians are there in total?"
The young man grinned and said, "They are overwhelming, countless."
What is this answer? Tang Yin was almost angry. He said in a solemn voice: "What does it mean to be overwhelming and countless? No matter how many enemies there are, there must be a number!"
"This...excluding the 10,000 barbarians who marched towards Yuanwang Town, there are at least 50,000 barbarians attacking the border town."
fifty thousand? In addition to the 10,000 barbarian soldiers coming this way, the opponent has at least 60,000 people. It seems that we have underestimated the intensity of the barbarian soldiers' counterattack.
Now Tang Yin is not worried about himself, but worried about the border town. There are less than 20,000 defenders in the border town, and they are all new soldiers. Even if Qiu Zhen, who is extremely agile, is in charge, it is still unknown whether they can withstand the fierce attack of 50,000 enemy soldiers. He was silent for a moment and said to the young man: "Go back quickly and notify General Ai. Keep abreast of the enemy's every move. If anything unexpected happens, notify me immediately!"
"Understood! I'm taking my leave!" After saying this, the young man didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his head, turned around and ran out.
"Sir, there are so many barbarians, can the border city withstand it?" Shangguan Yuanwu asked worriedly.
Tang Yin also wanted to know whether he could withstand it, but it was too late to worry about it now and he could only resign himself to fate. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Don't worry about the border town, we just need to take care of ourselves and everything will go as planned!"
"Yes! Sir!" Although Tang Yin didn't say much, his words were always reassuring. Shangguan Yuanwu agreed and asked no more questions.
At this time, time began to become long, and now was the most critical moment. Whether the original plan could be implemented smoothly depended on whether the incoming barbarians would discover their whereabouts.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone felt the sound of messy footsteps coming from above their heads, which was also vaguely mixed with roars.
The barbarian soldiers have arrived at Yuanwang Town! Tang Yin moved his body to the entrance of the tunnel and listened quietly to what was going on outside.
Obviously, the barbarian soldiers had not expected that Yuanwang Town would become an empty town. There was not a single living person found in the whole town. The barbarian soldiers had nowhere to vent their anger, so they transferred it to the houses in the town. For a time, they collided with each other. The sound of doors and banging could be heard one after another.
Although he couldn't understand the language of Barbarian State, Tang Yin could tell that the other party's soldiers were shouting and cursing.
Suddenly, Tang Yin realized a serious problem. What if the barbarian soldiers really vented their anger on the small town and set it on fire? Will our two thousand soldiers not be suffocated to death in cellars and tunnels?
Thinking of this, beads of sweat flowed down his temples.
However, his worries were unnecessary. Although the barbarians entered the territory of the Feng Kingdom and killed and robbed them, they would never set fire to the city. They regarded the Feng people as their own sheep. Once the city was burned down, the Feng people would be destroyed. With no land to live in, they all moved inland, which would also add big trouble to their plundering.
No one could be found in the town. After the barbarians smashed and made trouble, they left angrily and went to the border town, preparing to join the barbarians there and attack the border town together.
After all the barbarian soldiers left, Tang Yin's heart sank into his throat and he thought to himself, "What a danger!" Fortunately, the enemy did not set fire to the town, otherwise our entire army would have been annihilated here.
He retreated to the end of the tunnel, leaned against the wall, and sat down slowly.
Hearing the footsteps above his head getting farther and farther, Cheng Jin asked: "Should the barbarian soldiers leave?"
Tang Yin nodded and said, "Let's go!"
Shangguan Yuanbiao asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"
"Wait!" Tang Yin said faintly: "When our spies return the news and confirm that the barbarians have begun to attack the city, we will rush out in one go!"
Cheng Jinsong said in a tone: "The barbarian soldiers must be tired after coming from afar, and they probably won't attack the city immediately."
"Definitely!" Before Tang Yin could speak, Shangguan Yuanwu said seriously: "Barbarian soldiers always like to fight quickly, and I have never seen them rest before attacking. I have lived in Pingyuan County for more than 20 years, and I understand Their style.”
Cheng Jin frowned and muttered: "Forcibly attacking the city with a tired army is a desperate move. This should be a taboo for military strategists!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yin raised his head and smiled, focused his gaze, and said word by word: "So, we must win this battle!" Then he added: "We must win!"
